School is the opposite of what humans need to reach their full potential.
#School teaches more through its structure than its content:
• Sit still
• Don’t question
• Wait for permission
• Follow instructions
• Obey authority
• Don’t take risks
This conditioning stays far longer than any algebra formulas. And exactly this is the problem!
#Unschooling/#homeschooling/#worldschooling, by contrast, teaches:
• Self-direction
• Problem-finding
• Intrinsic motivation
• Resourcefulness
• Self-respect
• Agency
One prepares you for managing yourself. The other prepares you for being managed. Set your kids free and follow me into the unschooling rabbit hole ♥️

Like many parents, I've had moments of wondering if I'm failing my #kid. I went through that same process when I began questioning the traditional school system. Initially, I worried about how school might fail my #child, but then I started to consider if not following the traditional route of #education would lead to failure on my part.
Taking the full responsibility for your kids' education can be scary, absolutely. But the more I let go and reflect on our fears, the more I realized - hey, nothing to be afraid of, the biggest thread to my kid is already out the way: traditional schooling.
In this episode, I'm talking to the founder of The Hub, Luba Vangelova, about the depths of this fear of failing our kids, and how to escape that fearful cycle and head into a future full of trust. Luba is an #unschooling mum herself, she shares a lot about her perspective on unschooling, and of course she introduces us to The Hub, a unique learning-cohort programs for unschooled/homeschooled tweens and teens!

You already learned a lot about Bitcoin on this pod, now it’s time to climb up a layer and talk about the Lightning Network.
This episode is about #Bitcoin, focus on #Lightning, and "working on your own dreams". What does this have to do with unschooling? Everything. Because with a shitty monetary system, we don't have the time to work on our dreams, because we're too busy surviving everyday life.
Ivan Makedonski from nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7ct8vaezumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgkwaehxw309ajkgetw9ehx7um5wghxcctwvshsqgyhz8g6h2qx5w3gtle7slghtypv9ujswsvxpkwxtypu3d0gv04asylprq55 has all the answers to your Lightning questions – and probably also the final answer to why self-sovereign parents like you, need Lightning as a fast, secure and cheap payment solution, that is based on Bitcoin.

Serious question: should we be preparing kids for the current economy, or the one that will exist in 20 years?
Because, most of the parents I talk to want to see change, but still send their kids to #school to learn things that won't prepare them for "the change".

Ricardo Leppe, founder of WISSEN SCHAFFT FREIHEIT (knowledge creates freedom), is now the second time on the show. Why? Because he is doing an incredible job in creating a new educational system all around the world. In this episode, it's all about how we can support our kids while they're creating the new world, our future. Enjoy <3

Oh yes, they raise their kids outside the slavery system haha
And oh yes, I feel that one, I had to learn to just watch not interact. HUGE learning for me 🤣
One of the most common criticisms of self-directed learning goes something like this: „If I didn’t force my kid to learn, they wouldn’t do anything. They’d just sit around. They’re not motivated.“
This sounds (almost) reasonable from my POV, but only until you look directly at where „lack of motivation“ actually comes from.
The idea that children are naturally unmotivated is one of the most successful myths in modern culture. They’re always on their phone, computer, … not interested in taking part in the real world. It’s so widely believed that people rarely examine it, and blaming the disconnect on the kids is so easy anway. But the evidence tells a different story: kids enter the world wired to explore. Curiosity is the default human setting!!
So why do so many kids appear unmotivated?
Because motivation is extremely sensitive to control. And schools are built on the assumption that learning must be controlled. So, psychologists have known for decades that intrinsic motivation grows when three conditions are present:
1. Autonomy (I choose)
2. Competence (I can do it)
3. Relatedness (It matters to people I care about)
School undermines all three.
Kids don’t get autonomy, noooo, they’re assigned tasks. They don’t develop competence, they move with their text books on regardless of understanding. They don’t connect learning to real meaning, they connect it to grades. This is the school-survival-mode!
So after years and years and years of being treated like a stupid donkey, of course there is no motivation left! And then adults say, „See? This is why kids need to be forced.“
What I learned from my work with free-learning kids. Most of the kids who were traumatized for many years in school, need at least ONE YEAR of doing absolutely NOTHING, but e.g. playing football and hang with friends, to regulate their system, so curiosity can start growing again.
Unschooling cuts this cycle at the root.
When a kid has the freedom to pursue something that genuinely interests them, motivation is natural. Nobody has to manufacture it. You don’t need stickers or grades or punishments or surveillance. You don’t need adults to „make learning fun“ – because you didn’t break their spirit in the first place.
And here’s what most people misunderstand: When unschooling is done well, kids don’t „learn only what they like“... although I tell people all the time that this is what we do at home. But this goes much much deeper in reality. They learn what the pursuit of their goals requires.
A kid obsessed with music eventually runs into math. A kid obsessed with gaming eventually runs into reading, logic, programming, or storytelling.
The #motivation comes from direction.
The #learning comes from necessity.
The #competence comes from repetition.
The #confidence comes from ownership.
This is the cycle #school breaks. School replaces direction with compliance, necessity with obligation, repetition with pacing, and ownership with supervision. And then it wonders why motivation collapses.
The problem is not the child. The problem is the system that refuses to trust the fundamental engine of human learning: the drive to make sense of the world. And this is not even a real problem, as the school system was designed to be that way!
Unschooling doesn’t create motivated kids. It simply stops breaking them. This is why I love the #decentralized learning modell! So let's stop producing NPCs with the help of #state #school, let's start raising real human beings!
Derek Olson, a wonderful ancient history researcher, who is digging deep into humanity’s history, reveiling the true history that looks very different from the official version that is taught in schools.
What does this have to do with #unschooling you may ask yourself. This kind of knowledge we should teach our kids, instead of the propagandized version that is being taught in school. And I hope that Derek gives you lots of interesting points to deep dive much further into humanity’s history, together with your kids.
There is still a lot to discover.
And, as you know me now already a bit, you know that I’m all in when it comes to search for the truth and to the question „wtf are we doing on this planet“. Not only as a collective, but also as individuals. For me, looking into humanity’s history, is one part of falling into this rabbit hole.
The best part: You can go on real life research adventures with Derek. Isn't this the best type of education?!

My favourite sweets, these look so good!!!
Most kids don’t need more instruction. They need more time to explore what actually interests them. But school doesn’t let them.
I host an unschooling podcast where we examine learning without school structures, real cases, real #unschooling and #homeschooling families, real outcomes. If you’re into self-directed learning, this is for you.

Kids burn out for the same reason adults do:
• No control
• No meaning
• No rest
• No autonomy
Burnout isn’t about “too much work.” It’s about too little agency.
#Unschooling fixes the root, not the symptoms.
When a #child chooses the task, burnout is rare.
When a child is assigned the task, burnout is almost inevitable.

#43: Life is beautiful - w/Filip Karađorđević Hereditary Prince of Yugoslavia and Serbia
Life is beautiful? Yes, because we're the masters of our future. In this episode, I'm talking to Filip Karađorđević, Hereditary Prince of Yugoslavia and Serbia, who is a known Bitcoin supporter and - of course - a supporter of free thinking, libertarian, decentralized, … education. Of course we're talking a bit a bout Bitcoin, but mainly about the characteristics of good money, a bit about #war, #inflation, #hyperinflation, #hyperbitcoinization ;)
But in this episode Filip is also talking about the fundamentals of decentralized education and is spreading some of his wisdom regarding libertarian lifestyle. Here you can find more about Filip in his role as CSO at nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqqyztkwyeydsmdkxjrvnu30wvxx097pqzag6hcsrmt2zjst48txtk5whraz8v , where he is working on fueling the hyperbitcoinization.

That I think parents need to sort of understand, but that theme that on the internet nobody knows you're a dog really has to stick with us, because you only know what someone's willing to tell you, is really all you know about them.

Oh yes, I had the same revelation the last couple of weeks. Hurts to realize you're a little bit stupid.
Something to enjoy ♥️
